The 20-year-old, who won bronze in the event at last year’s IPC Athletics World Championships, finished in a time of 29.48 seconds to shave 0.18 off the previous record time.

It proved only enough to claim the silver medal on the day, with Australia’s Angela Ballard triumphing in a time of 29.36, while Russia’s Akzana Abdikarimova completed the podium in a time of 31.73.

Ballard secured her second title of the day by winning the women’s 800m in a time of 1min 52.96sec, while Kinghorn produced a European record time of 1:53.40 to win silver.

Japan’s Kazumi Nakayama completed the podium in 1:53.78.

“It felt really good, I can’t believe it, especially my 200m,” said Kinghorn after her European records.

“I knew I’d trained well for my 400m but I was a bit nervous coming into it as I’d been in hospital so I hadn’t raced.

“It was pretty cool to break the 200m record, I’ve been watching the records and knowing they were there.

“I’ve been chasing them but I didn’t realise that I’d get them, especially when I crossed the line.”

Kinghorn’s team-mate Shelby Watson continued her stunning form, as she backed up the two world records she had produced yesterday in the T33 100m and 400m, by setting new marks in the 200m and 800m.

Watson clocked 35.04 to claim the 200m title ahead of The Netherlands’ Luna Jansen, before finishing in the 800m in 2:22.85.

Amanda McGrory claimed victory in the women’s T54 5,000m after holding off the attentions of her compatriot Tatyana McFadden.

The American duo finished in times of 11:15.48 and 11:15.92 respectively to finish as the top two in the distance event, with their team-mate Shirley Reilly ending third in 11:19.61.
